Had an idea for a website while looking over some old files etc...
website no longer working.
Just wondering if it might work and would like some feedback.

Hi Steve

I can't find a link that works - is there a mistake or are you still at the "thinking" stage?

Can't give any feedback without knowing what you have in mind!

Kind regards, Arranroots  ;)

as a link: http://www.freewebs.com/newportall/

First thoughts:  yes, why not, it's fun, and it's something that could lead to others contributing ...

I don't know how the site has been set up, but you might like to consider just thumbnails and a brief description of the individual items, which link to a page with the full size image and the full text.

that way you can put more 'bits' on your home page, which makes it more interesting for casual viewers, and it will load quicker too.

for more on thumbnails

My website is offline right now, so the examples there don't show,
but nearly all "news" sites, and shop sites use a similar technique
e.g. http://news.bbc.co.uk/

Ah well, off to have a read - looks good so far!
